Benny and Acadian did a great job on two separate projects for us. First (early 2016), we had an old attached carport in our backyard that was no longer used as a carport. We wanted to convert it into a storage shed. He gave us a fair bid (we took 2 other bids, 1 was much higher than his and 1 was comparable). His workers were very considerate and professional when we met them. Benny was very responsive when I had questions. The project was fairly involved, because they needed to move some HVAC units out of the way, expand the size of the concrete foundation, frame the walls for the shed, wire the shed for electricity, replace the carport lighting fixture, install exterior lighting fixtures, and install and paint exterior siding to match the house. They did everything perfectly! Second (mid-2017), we hired them again a year later to replace the old railing on our front porch. We had a miscommunication with Bennie about what we wanted the replacement to look like. But Benny and his carpenter were very responsive when we realized that what his carpenter was constructing for was not what we wanted. They quickly changed course to build what we wanted and we really appreciated the quality work and professionalism. We are in the process of getting a bid from Acadian to do some more work for us!

Extremely satisfied very professional crew answered all questions completely job took longer then original estimate due to inspectors, weather and we changed the job as it was being done. Ashley in office was very nice and responded to all phones calls and emails quickly. They even fixed some work done by another contractor that was done wrong at no charge. I can honestly say that I wish I had know about them earlier as we would have used them over contractors we have used in the past. It should be noted I have never given anyone a review this good before I don't normally write reviews because I always feel let down by what was promised and what was delivered not this time

The repair job on my entry way was done quickly and with high quality. The crew was professional and left the work area impeccably clean everyday. Communication from SES was provided through out the entire project . I will use SES again for any future home renovations and would recommend their service to others.

We had a great experience with SES. They show up when they say they will, they perform their work efficiently, and they do quality work. They're also very pleasant to work with and were very good about keeping the project areas neat and as clean as could be expected given the demo work. I would recommend them to anyone doing work on their home. They gutted and completely refinished two bathrooms for us, and in our basement they installed vinyl plank flooring, repaired some drywall, installed new interior doors, and moved our washer and dyer hookups. They were always incredibly responsive to any questions we had and were great about working with us when our flooring got delayed. I would definitely hire them again.

I hired Castillo Construction to do emergency repairs to my home after my neighbor's tree fell on it and caused major damage to the house and completely destroyed my garage. Unfortunately, this was the second time that the same tree had fallen on my house causing major damage. The first time, about half of the tree fell and my whole house was gutted. My first contractor was a crook and wasn't even finished with the renovations a year later when the rest of the tree fell. Having had such a horrible experience with my first contractor, I was very picky about who I would hire for this round of renovations and repairs. Alfonso and his team were very responsive with my inquiries for a site visit, estimate, and references. He was also understanding of the trouble I had been through over the last year and was willing to jump through all the hoops I put up to make sure that he was an honest contractor who wasn't trying to make a quick buck without doing the work. As soon as my insurance company issued the first check, his crew got to work. They replaced my roof, laid new wood floors throughout the entire house, repaired the ceiling in two rooms where the tree had come through, painted the interior rooms that had been damaged, rebuilt damaged kitchen cabinet, demolished and rebuilt the two-car garage and patio roof, upgrade electrical box to garage, repainted the exterior of the house, installed new gutters and downspouts, and replaced air conditioning compressor. I'm probably forgetting so many details about what was done. I'll just say that it was a lot of work and they completed it quickly and beautifully. My former contractor had left several things inside the house unfinished such as no window sills on several windows and tile missing in the bathroom or incorrectly installed. I was going to have to pay out of pocket to get these things taken care of since I was fighting with my old contractor over what he owed me. When I asked Alfonso for an estimate to complete this work while they were doing all the other repairs, he told me not to worry about it. He finished all of the unfinished items in the house without asking for a dime. It wasn't a lot of work but he sympathized with my situation he saved me several hundred dollars instead of taking advantage. His crews were always extremely polite and answered any questions I had about what they were doing. They also kept a very clean work site, making sure that all materials and tools were put away and organized every day before they left for the day. Even when Alfonso and I had a disagreement about the air compressor that was installed, he was willing to bend to what I wanted, and what had originally been agreed upon, at a financial loss to himself in order to make things right with the customer. After having been through the ringer over the last year and a half, it was refreshing to have a contractor who was honest and didn't try to take advantage of a woman navigating in a largely male-dominated field.

it took a few months, but the workers made it out when expected and progress went well. there were issues, but that is no surprise on a big job like this, and they were resolved, so everything got done.

Elbert, the owner, came to the house himself. He was very helpful, kind, knowledgable, and responsive. He explained everything well, and I trusted his judgment. We did not use his service because the estimate was for the new buyers of the house. I would certainly use him in the future!

We wanted good work done at a good price after having bad experiences with other contractors, and that's exactly what we got with Associated Housing Contractors. Elbert was easy to reach and always willing to consult on the project. We went through several versions of the work order, as more damage was uncovered, and Elbert always talked us through the changes. After being less than impressed by vanities at Lowe's and Home Depot, Elbert suggested a custom-made vanity and mirror solution that looks fantastic and didn't cost any more than the big box products. Also, we were able to adjust the estimate to fit within our budget, which was helpful. The workers were quick and caused minimal disruption in the house. And, at the end of the project, AHC sent through a cleaning person to get rid of all traces of construction dust and contractor footprints. Overall, we're pleased with the work and happy with the experience. We'd definitely work with AHC again!

I first contacted Acadian Remodeling in the beginning of October 2014. They worked closely with me on the pricing for the project in order to make it work within my budget and we finally signed a proposal/contract mid October. They were willing to let us as homeowners do some of the work in order to save money and stay on budget. Acadian made sure to contact me before any work that was not in original proposal started.

Work began in November 4, 2014 and lasted through January 2015. They worked pretty much every day not including Thanksgiving and Christmas, sometimes even worked on the weekends. No major problems or issues came up. General construction work was excellent. Finishing work (drywall, trim, windows, and doors) was average. There were a few things not to my liking but Acadian fixed those and made sure I was completely happy with the final result of the project. Clean-up during and after the project was average. Overall, my experience with Acadian Remodeling was great and their crews were friendly and professional.

He did a wonderful job. Everything was done to code. He is professional and really works hard to understand exactly what the customer wants and desires. He is also very accomdating to any changes that you want to make. His prices are very competitive and reasonable. He is very timely, efficient and honest. I will be using him in the future.
